I've read that article and it's a good explanation of the L13A i-DSI and L15A VTEC engines for that car (the North American market gets the L15A VTEC engine).
It will be interesting to see what engine the next-generation Fit gets (latest rumor is that it will be unveiled in Japan May 2007). I expect most of the world will get a 1.5-liter i-DSI engine rated at around 90 bhp (SAE 08/04 net) standard, but the more advanced engine (which North American Fits will use as standard) will likely use the same SOHC i-VTEC valvetrain as the R18A engine on the current Honda Civic but in 1.5-liter form (I'm guessing about 117-120 bhp SAE 08/04 net output).

Fit 1.5 vtec engine
Interesting article on the Fit engine.
I recently went car shopping and compared the Honda Fit with the Honda Civic. One noticeable difference was the the Honda Fit is a Low Emmissions Vehicle (lev) and the Civic is an Ultra Low Emmissions Vehicle (ulev).
Why is the Fit not a ULEV?

The Fit is new to us but has been around elsewhere in the world for quite sometime. So while it's new to us, it uses "older" technology. I bet the next generation Fit will be a ULEV. Eitherway, it's still a pretty green machine
